17 Entertainment Complex Builds on the existing entertainment opportunities in this area and begins to create a district for nightlife Strategic location near Wudaokou Station makes the complex easily accessible to visitors as well as students living nearby

18 Exhibition Space Provides a space for universities or lab users to display current work Creates a landmark to draw people from universities and apartment complexes to the north down the corridor and across the highway overpass

19 New Laboratory Space Located in an area that was historically used for laboratory purposes Conveniently adjacent to Tsinghua University and the growing High Technology cluster in Haidian Flexible space can be used by students, professionals or startup biotech companies

20 Housing Smaller scale attempts to fit in with the low-rise character of this area Mixed income housing development ensures that both high tech workers as well as the lower income residents who provide services for them will be accommodated

22 Market/Library Triangle A mix of institutional and retail uses at a key intersection of our site attempts to bridge the east and west sides of the light rail and bring together the students from the surrounding universities, high tech workers and area residents of all income classes We locate a new library under the light rail with extensions to the east and west, and imagine creating many auxiliary uses in association with this such as book markets and stores, cafes, and publishing houses. We also include around a large plaza, spaces for vendors, artist lofts and exhibition space in order to encourage the creation of a dynamic and interesting public space. A new mall development directly to the east could serve as a larger retail anchor for other small shops and markets.
